What DeepPavlov says about rubert-cased

Read the model card

RuBERT (Russian, cased, 12‑layer, 768‑hidden, 12‑heads, 180M parameters) was trained on the Russian part of Wikipedia and news data. We used this training data to build a vocabulary of Russian subtokens and took a multilingual version of BERT‑base as an initialization for RuBERT[1].
